ABSTRACT

Faiz, Romdhoni. 2015. Quality Assessment of the “Thousand Years” Song Lyrics in Translation mid Exam Result of 6th Semester Students of STKIP Ponorogo. A thesis, English Education Department Faculty of Education State Islamic College of Ponorogo (STAIN) Ponorogo. Advisor Drs. H. Dolar Yuwono, M. Pd. Keywords: Translation Quality Assessment, Mid Exam This research is aimed to evaluating translated song lyrics ―Thousand Years‖ in mid exam of 6th semester students of STKIP Ponorogo. It was also to identify translation error and problems based on translation quality assessment (TQA). In this study, purposive sampling was used. The sample consisted of 11 answer sheets of translated song lyrics. The answer sheets were analyzed in terms of translation issues, discourse analysis, and lexicosyntactic features of translation. The findings indicated that 6th semester English Education students had middle-high score qualification of translation in translating English language song lyrics to Indonesian. The score ranged from 3 to 1: 3 (high), 2 (middle), 1 (low).

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION

A. Background of The Study English skills today have become national and international community necessity. Modernity is required us to speak international language, which is English. In the other hand, opposing the necessity of English speaking, our English speaker isn‘t too many until now. There, we need translators. Translator is one who makes a translation. It can be an expert or students in English language focus. But what is translation actually mean? However, there are many definition of that term, but Newmark states, “…It is rendering the meaning of a text into another language in the way that author intended the text.‖ The first known translations are those of the Sumerian epic of Gilgamesh into Asian languages from the second millennium BC. Later Buddhist monks translated sutras into Chinese and Roman poets adapted Greek texts. Translation as a cross lingual technique in foreign language teaching has a long tradition. Translation from the foreign language was probably first used in the third century by elementary school teachers of Latin in the Greek communities of the Roman Empire.1 Arabic culture is also involved in translation histories. Translation undertaken by Arabs could be said to have kept Greek wisdom and learning alive. Having conquered the Greek world, they made Arabic versions of 1

its philosophical and scientific works. During the middle ages, translations of the Arabic versions were into Latin-mainly at the school in Cordoba, Spain. These Latin translations of Greek and original Arab works of learning helped underpin Renaissance scholarship. Translation is one of major studies discussed in English department. It is one of many basic skills that we should master as an English student—beside grammars, speaking, etc. Translation is actually the most important ‗weapon‘—in the researcher‘s opinion—to everyone who is in foreign language studies. What will you do if you don‘t understand your course book? How will you write down your exercises—that it should be in English—if you aren‘t able to use translation directly in your head? Using translating applications such as Google Translate is not helping. The translation using Google Translate sometime will lead a translator into addiction, which is mean the translator always use the application to translate text. The translation of that application is very lack in grammar and it affects the translator‘s translating ability. They are hard to see the taste of the target language and only focus in changing the language. On the other hand, many students are still too focus in changing the language only without understand what being discussed. But knowing the source language and the target language only is not enough for a translator. The researcher chooses the result of Translation exam of 6th semester students because of some reason. The 6th semester students have already passed Translation class, which would give the assumption that their translation is

measurable. Second, examination test is the same for all 6th semester. And the researcher chooses STKIP because STKIP is one of college in Ponorogo which has fresh graduate English students each year. Finally, by considering the preceding statements, the writer finds a curiosity about the translation result quality of 6th semester students of English Education department of STKIP Ponorogo. The writer realizes the facts above, and chooses to take a qualitative research titled “Quality Assessment of the “Thousand Years” Song Lyrics in Translation mid Exam Result of 6th Semester Students of STKIP Ponorogo”. The writer hopes this research could also indirectly assess our expectant teacher for the future generations. B. Research Focus The researcher will focus the research to 6th semester students of STKIP Ponorogo. The research will test the translation result quality of the subjects by considering its accuracy, acceptability, and readability. C. Statements of the Problems 1.

Theoretically From this study, the researcher will know the quality of the ―Thousand Years‖ Song Lyrics in Translation mid Exam Result of 6th Semester Students of STKIP Ponorogo. 2. Practically a. For the students To tell the students how good they are in translation. Besides, this research tells students the importance of translation in foreign language studies. b. For the readers

6

To give contribution to the readers, particularly students of English Education Department of STKIP Ponorogo, in enriching references concerted with Translation Result Assessment. c. For the fellow translators To give more reference to translators about good translation and how to translate according to the experts, and also show how a translation should be assessed. F. Research Methodology

1. Research Design

This research is classified into descriptive qualitative research. Descriptive research involves collecting data in order to answer concerning current status of the object of the study and research question. Considering this, the researcher decided to use the descriptive qualitative research in order to get more comprehensive information.

2. Research Approach

The researcher uses the qualitative approach to describe, discuss, and analyze the problem of the study. According to Lexy J. Moleong ―Qualitative research is a methodology of research purposed to understand

7

phenomenon of the subject research such as behavior, perception, and motivation holistically using description and natural method.‖2

Descriptive research includes surveys and fact findings enquiries of different kinds. The major purpose of descriptive research is description of the state of affairs, as it exists at present.

3. Researcher Role

The characteristic of qualitative research is the researcher as a key instrument. So, in this research, the researcher as a key instrument, the full participant, does that related to the research.

4. Research Location

The research will be conducted in STKIP Ponorogo in the academic year 2015/2016. Researcher chooses this university because of it proximity. In addition, STKIP Ponorogo, especially the faculty of education has created many generation of expectant teacher. Besides that, the research subject that fulfills the research‘s criteria isn‘t too available. Then the researcher supposes, it will be wise to check the quality of our next teachers by choosing STKIP Ponorogo for the location of the research.

5. Data Source The data used was taken from the lecturer‘s personal archive, which is answer sheets of translation mid exam results. And also the lyric of the ―Thousand Years‖ song by Christina Perri was taken from the mid exam question sheets.

6. Technique of Collecting Data

This research applied documentation to collect data. It is things recorded.3 They are files, books, newspaper, magazine, etc. It used to know more information about STKIP Ponorogo, especially about the English Education Department.

Since this research is a descriptive-qualitative approach research, sampling technique used is internal sampling. Internal sampling is a sampling technique that is depending on the data completion and depth, this technique doesn‘t require quantity to represent the information.4 And in this research, researcher uses Purposive Sampling. Purposive Sampling is a sampling technique, where the researcher depends the sampling on the theoretical framework, personal curiosity, empiric characteristics that are being faced, etc.5

7. Technique of Data Analysis

In this research, the researcher used Content Analysis. Content Analysis is a research discusses deeply on a content of an information that written or printed on mass media.6 It is a research methodology that utilizes several procedures to obtain valid conclusion from a book or document.7 The researcher will use this method to measure the quality of the translated text, whether it fulfill the criteria of good translation or not.

In his research analysis, researcher uses translation assessment which is derived from previous research with a little necessary modification. The basic criteria from the assessment is accuracy (researcher assesses the translation text and measures how precise it transferred from the source language), acceptability (researcher assesses translation text and measures how is the translated text ‗tasted‘. The acceptable one would ‗tasted‘ natural), and readability (researcher assesses the translated text and measures how the translated text united as one text. Researcher also measures how the translated one sends the message from the original, as the new independent text).

8. Research Steps

a. Preparation Step

In this step, the researcher learns the theoretical framework in the research. It is needed to strengthen the basic understanding of the theory before the research begins. It is also needed to gain all the references used. Researcher also prepares any instruments that will be used in research, and decides the research object. Then, the researcher writes the research proposal.

b. Implementation Step

In this step, the researcher does the process of research including collecting data, documentation, analyzing the data, and making conclusion.

The researcher collects and organizes the mid examination answer sheets of STKIP students of English Education department. The researcher chooses the answer sheets that are fulfill the criteria.

Then the researcher analyzes the data by using the criteria of translation assessment to describe the accuracy, the acceptability, and the readability of the translated text. Then, the researcher asks rater to also assess the answer sheet by using the criteria of translation assessment in this research.

The researcher takes conclusion from the rater.

CHAPTER II THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK AND REVIEW TO THE PREVIOUS FINDING A. Theoretical Framework 1. Definition of Translation Etymologically, the word translation derives from the Latin word translation (which itself comes from trans- and fero, the supine form of which is latum, together meaning ―to carry across‖ or ―to bring across‖). The modern Romance languages use words for translation derived from that source or from alternative Latin traduco (―to lead across‖). The Slavic and Germanic languages (except for the Dutch ―vertaling‖, ―literally‖ a ―re-language-ing‖) likewise use calques of these Latin sources.8 Terminologically, there are so many experts give their definitions about translation. Newmark defines translation as rendering the meaning of a text into another language in the way that author intended the text.9Newmark in this statement defines translation as process of transferring the meaning of a text into different language. But there should be no change in the author intention inside the meaning of the text. According to Catford translation is the act of replacing text material in the source language by an equivalent text in the target language. Meanwhile, more detailed opinion is from Brislin, “Translation 8

13

is the general term referring to the transfer of thoughts and ideas from one language (source) to another (target) whether the languages are in written or oral form.” Translation basically is change of form. When we speak of the form of a language, we are referring to the actual words, phrases, clauses, sentences, paragraphs, texts, which are spoken or written.10 In conclusion, we could say that translation is the activity of transferring message from source language (SL) into target language (TL), and it is done in every state of the text. 2. The Process of Translation Newmark mentions three basic translation processes. The first process is the interpretation and analysis of the source language text. The second process is the translation procedures, which maybe direct, or on the basis of source language and target language corresponding syntactic structures, or trough an underlying logical ―inter language‖. The last process is the reformulation of the text in relation to the writer‘s intention, the reader‘s expectation, the norms of the target language, etc.11 Based on Nida and Taber, the processes of translation are first, analyzing the source language message. In this step, the translators analyze the SL text in the basis of the relationship of existing grammar (SL and TL 10

Larson, Meaning-Based Translation: A Guide to Cross-Language Equivalent,(America: University Press of America), 3 11 Peter Newmark, Approches to Translation, (Oxford: Pergamond Press), 144

14

grammars) and also analyze the meaning of words and sentences in order to understand the message comprehensively (Nida and Taber, 1982 as quoted in Suryawinata and Hariyanto, 2003). The second process is transferring the result of analysis into similar message. In this step, the messages of the SL which have been understood are transferred into the translators‘ mind. And the last is restructuring the transferred message into the natural form into TL. While Larson, states the translation processes as 1) preparation, 2) analysis, 3) transfer, 4) initial draft, 5) reworking the initial draft, 6) testing the translation, 7) polishing the translation, 8) preparing the manuscript for the publisher.12 The preparation generally is what the translator should have before translating and the preparation related to the text to be translated. The analysis means as the translator reads the text, he should note down any lexical items which seems to be key word that will be the guidance in understanding the whole text. Transfer is the process of going from the semantic structure analysis to initial draft of the translation. The transfer takes place in the mind of the translator.13 Initial draft is a temporary draft in paragraph level, which should be soon composed once the translator gets the paragraph going to communicate. Then, a reworking of the initial draft should be done after. And the first initial draft will be a key to rewrite the second one at this step.

15

Based from the explanations above, we can draw conclusion that the translation should transfer both the message and the form of the SL into equivalent TL and should be in natural way. It means that translated text should not be read as a result of translation, but it is stand independently as text which is written in its own language. In the other words, there must be equivalence between the SL and the TL. 3. Criteria of Good Translation a. Natural Translation Nida has outlined that a natural translation involves two principal areas of adaptation, namely, grammar and lexicon. In terms of grammar, the grammatical modifications can be made more readily adjusted since many grammatical changes are dictated by the obligatory structures of the receptor language. On the other hand, the lexical structure of the source message is less readily adjusted to semantic requirements of the receptor language.14 The naturalness in the target language should be achieved in order to make the readers of the translated version do not realize that they are reading translated product. Nida and Taber say that translating consists in reproducing in the receptor of language the closest natural equivalence of source message, firstly in terms of meaning and secondly in terms of style. To be able to produce the closest natural

16

equivalence, a translator has to master the message in the original text up to the details, and then find the equivalence of that message in the target language, and then he has to restructure it. About the naturalness, Newmark has stated that the translator‘s own version has to reflect any deviation from a ‗natural‘ style. 15 This statement adds more aspects the translator should pay attend. Beside the meaning and the grammar, there is an original author style that translators should keep in their translated text. In order to make translated text are ‗tasted‘ as natural as the original version. From the explanation above, the writer could conclude that translation should be natural in the forms of meaning and structure (grammar). It also should keep the style of original author writing, so the natural translated text could be achieved. b. Equivalent Translation Nida proposes that, ―Equivalent points toward the source language message.‖ It means that the translators should try to found the equivalent message in the TL which is equivalent to the SL message.16 Translations equivalence happens when an SL and a TL text or item are relatable to (at least some of) the same features of substance. According to Savory translation is made possible by an equivalent of 15

17

thought that lies behind its different verbal expressions. In this statement, the equivalence is its ideas.17 Related to equivalence in translation, there are five level of equivalence. First is equivalence at word level. It occurs when the translators try to transfer all of SL messages into TL. They usually focus on the meaning of word by word. Second is equivalence above word level. This kind of equivalence is usually used to translate a phrase or an idiom. Third is grammatical equivalence. It refers to the diversity of grammatical category across language. Forth is textual equivalence. It refers to the equivalence between SL text and TL text in terms of information cohesion. The last is pragmatic equivalence. It refers to the coherence and implication of the SL and TL. From the explanation above, the writer can conclude that a good translated text requires equivalence between SL and TL. 4. Analysis of a Text Translation is a work of reading and rewriting. It is part of translation process, which is reading the original text. The reading activity is used in purpose of text analysis. In translating text or even assessing the translation, the analysis of the text is necessary. Thus, we need to understand more about reading for analysis. 17

Suryawinata&Hariyanto, Translation: BahasanTeoridanPenuntunPraktisMenerjemahkan,(Yogyakarta: Kanisius), 12

18

Based from Newmark, reading the original text is on two purposes: First, to understand what it is about; Second, to analyze it from ‗translator‘s‘ point of view. Understanding the text will help us to put in our mind the topic/message that the text is brought. As a translator, we need to understand the topic we translate. It will be a guidance to arrange a draft for the translation. Then, we also need to put our self as translator. We would have to determine its intention and the way it is written in purpose of selecting a suitable translation method. And we as a translator also need to realize that the text is not purely a linguistic phenomenon, but must also be seen in terms of its communicative function, as a unit embedded in a given situation, and as a part of a broader socio-cultural background.18 It is also necessary to begin translating by identifying text in terms of culture and situation, because the communicative function of text, such as the intention of a text, could be learned by understand any socio-culture background. Then, we analyze the structure of text, proceeding down from the macro-structure to the level of lexical cohesion and including the relationship between the title and the main body of the text.19

5. Lexicon and Lexical Items a. Lexicon The word lexicon is derived from the Greek Lexicon, neuter of Lexikos, meaning ―of or for words‖. Terminologically, lexicon is ‗a book containing an alphabetical arrangement of the words in a language and their definitions: dictionary‘20, ‗the vocabulary of a language, an individual speaker or group of speakers, or a subject‘, or ‗the total stock of morphemes in a language‘.21 The lexicon is words listed in a language, could be taught also as vocabulary. A translator will often find that there is no exact equivalent between the words of one language and the words of another. There will be words which have some of the meaning components combined in them matching a word which has these components with some additional ones.22 In this case, a realizing of lexicon is needed. That is why a good translator will use all the dictionaries and lexicons available in his study of the source language text. He wants to be sure he knows the meaning of each words. b. Lexical terms Lexical terms (or lexical unit, lexical entry) is a single word, a part of word, or a chain of words that forms the basic elements of a 20

http://i.word.com/idictionary/lexicon Ibid 22 Larson, Meaning-Based Translation: A Guide to Cross-Language Equivalent,(America: University Press of America), 482 21

20

language‘s lexicon, e.g. cat, traffic light, by the way, etc. Lexical items can be generally understood to convey a single meaning, much as lexemes, but are not limited to single words. Type of lexical items: 1) Words, e.g. cat, car 2) Parts of words, e.g. –s in books, -er in worker, non- in nonstop, -est in hardest. 3) Phrasal verbs, e.g. put off or get out 4) Polywords, e.g. by the way, inside out 5) Collocations, e.g. motor vehicle, absolutely convinced 6) Institutionalized utterances, e.g. I‘ll get it, would you like a cup of coffee? 7) Idioms, e.g. break a leg, a bitter pill to swallow 8) Sayings, e.g. the early bird gets the worm, the devil is in the details 9) Sentence frames and heads, e.g. that is not… as you think 10) Text frames, e.g. firstly, …; secondly, … Larson suggests that the translator need to be able to analyze the lexical items (words) of the source text in order to translate them. This means being able to ‗unpack‘ words in order to show the meaning that is represented by the lexical form.

21

6. Translation Methods Newmark has mentioned some method of translation that emphasized from both texts of translation (SL and TL). They are: a. Word-for-word translation This method is focused at word level. The words from source language are translated singly by their most common meaning, ignoring the context. It usually used for pre-translation process when the translator finds difficult text. b. Literal translation The SL grammatical constructions are converted to their nearest equivalents, but the lexical words are again translated singly, out of context. c. Faithful translation This method tries to reproduce the exact contextual meaning of the original within the constraints of TL grammatical structures. It transfers cultural words and preserves the degree of grammatical and lexical abnormality (deviation in the SL norm) in the translation. d. Semantic translation

22

What is differs this method from faithful translation is only that this method gives more attention to the aesthetic value (that is, beautiful and natural sound) of the SL text. The distinction between faithful and semantic translation is that the first is uncompromising and dogmatic, while the second is more flexible. e. Adaptation This method is the freest form of translation. It mainly used in comedy and poetry; the themes, characters, plots are usually preserved, the SL culture converted to the TL culture and the text rewritten. f. Free translation Free translation reproduces the matter without the manner, or the content without the form of the original. It just focuses to write the message of the text. g. Idiomatic translation Idiomatic translation reproduces the ‗message‘ of the original but tends to distort the nuances of meaning by preferring colloquialisms and idioms where these do not exist in the original. h. Communicative translation

23

This method attempts to render the exact contextual meaning of the original in such a way that both content and language are readily acceptable and comprehensible to the readership.23 7. Translation Procedures Translation methods are different from procedures in translation. While the first is related to the whole text, the second is used for sentences or smaller units of language. There are so many varied procedures that are given by experts. Vinay and Darbelnet mention seven kinds of procedure, as follow: a. Borrowing It can be simply defined as a case where a word or an expression is taken from the SL and used in the TL, but in naturalized form, that is, it is made to conform to the rules of grammar or pronunciation of the TL. b. Calque The term Calque, or ‗Trough-Translation‘ as Newmark calls it, refers to a case where the translator imitates in his translation the structure or the manner of expression of the SL. The difference is, borrowing transfers the whole words.

23

Newmark, A Textbook of Translation, (Hertfortshire: Prentice Hall International), 45-47

24

c. Literal translation Literal, or word for word, is the direct transfer of a SL text into grammatically and idiomatically appropriate TL text in which the translators‘ task is limited to observing the adherence to the linguistics servitudes of the TL. d. Transposition Transposition, or Shift as Catford calls it, reflects the grammatical change that occurs in translation from SL to TL. e. Modulation Modulation is defined as, ―a change in point of view that allows us to express the same phenomenon in different way.‖ f. Equivalence Equivalence is a case where a same situation can be rendered by two different words. g. Adaptation This method is the freest form of translation. It mainly used in comedy and poetry; the themes, characters, plots are usually

25

preserved, the SL culture converted to the TL culture and the text rewritten.24 8. Ways to Assess Translation Result Nababan et al., (2012) states that there are three aspects that must be paid attention in evaluating TQA: accuracy, acceptability, and readability.25 1. The Accuracy Accuracy is a term used in evaluating translation referring whether the ST and the TT have the equal equivalency or not. A text is supposed to be a result of translation, if the translation conveys the equal sense and message to the source text.

B. Review to the Previous Research Finding The researcher found the research about translation quality by Winantu K. S. A. titled ―Kualitas Hasil Penerjemahan Individu dan Penerjemahan Kelompok.‖ She tried to assess translation quality by its accuracy, acceptability, and readability to compare translation quality between group translation and individual translation. Several conditions are implied in her research. She focuses more in the strategy and technique that could be used in translation and how it affects the result. She used a modified scale to measure quality of the translation, which resulted group translation is better than individual translation as a conclusion of the research. To provide more references, the researcher also review the research by Dolar Yuwono titled ―Translation Quality of Translated Abstracts from Indonesian to English in the Journal of STAIN Ponorogo 2015.‖ In that research, he assessed the translated abstract in nine journals of STAIN Ponorogo. He used modified criteria from three aspects of evaluating translation by Nababan. The researcher considers the similarity between previous researches‘ problems and his own research problems, and then decides to modify the previous researches‘ criteria to be used in his research.

The first verse was quite accurate. But the translated text was looked unnatural. The word the translated picked “berdegup” would be better if replaced with “berdetak”. However it was still readable, so it scored 3, 2, and 3. The second verse was less accurate. The original text showed that phrase “Colors and promises” was plural, thus it should be translated to “Warna-warna dan janjijanji”. But it still grammatically acceptable, it was also readable. So it got 2, 3, 3. The third verse was less accurate. Original text not mention an article, but the translator added “seorang” in the translated text. So the score was 2.

The translator not translated “somehow”, so the score was 2. But the translated text was acceptable. So the score was 3. It was also readable, the score was 3.

73

The seventh verse was less accurate, because the word “closer” should be translated to “lebih dekat” instead of “terlewati”. The score in level of accuracy was 2. But though, it was still acceptable and readable. So it got 3 and 3. The eighth verse was less accurate, because the word ―died‖ translated to “tersiksa”. It should be “mati” in Indonesian.

CHAPTER V CONCLUSION

A. Conclusion Most of the sheets are accurate. From the aspect of accuracy, some common pattern is found. The researcher has noted from the translated text/research sheets that most translators are still lack in understanding phrases and clauses. The researcher then assumes that this was the cause of some information changing and adding. Even though the researcher doesn‘t deny the fact that the text which has translated is a song lyric, that is easy to get an ambiguous meaning. The translation sheets half acceptable. The researcher noted that some students not pay much attention to the grammatical of the TL. This assumption has been proved by the translated text that is still tasted unusual and awkward. ‗Reproduce‘ means to transferring the message of a text, and it is including the feeling when a reader read the text. So, if a translated text isn‘t transferring the whole message, we cannot measure it as a perfect translation. Most of the sheets are readable, but some of the phrase is unusual. Readability means how easy a translated text could be understood. It found especially when a translator faced an idiom. The accuracy of a text and the acceptability is also affects the readability. As the

78

translation is also the activity of reading, the understanding when a translator reading the source text is also decides the readability. Finally, based on the result above, it shows that translating is not only to find the equivalence of ST and TT, but also involves the attention to the style of writing and ability to understand the message of the original text.

B. Recommendations 1. To the students The students in department of English Language, that can‘t be separated from the translating activity hoped to understand the necessity of translation in their study. And they also know how good their translating ability is to become motivated. 2. To the readers The readers is recommended to read this research if they are going to get more understanding about translation assessment. 3. To the fellow translators The translators, especially amateur translators could use this research as a reference to become better translator. The research also showed criteria of good translation so it could be used as a reference.
